Taking a mental health day
I have been such a mess lately, I just had to take a mental health day. I called my best friend who has been my sister in mental illness this whole time and she happened to be off work. She and I had a little chat and decided on our plan of action. I took my son to my mother’s house and she met me there. That’s when we took our time to do all kinds of therapy:
Food therapy: eating at Jim’s Lunch with greasy food and a decadent dessert. I will never look at bread pudding the same again.
Retail therapy: I had coupons and gift cards. I only ended up spending a full ten dollars on everything today. HEHE I got a needle for knitting, new perfume lotion from Victoria, and 8 things from Bath/Body on sale.
Lollygagging therapy (she gave me triple letter score for using that word HAHA): took our sweet time doing everything we did today. I even got to meet my godkitty and see her adorable new apartment.
Caffeine therapy: coffee good, soda good!
I got to my mother’s around 2pm and ended my day at 7:15pm when I left to come home. I feel a heaping load better than I did when I left to go to my mom’s house.
Bonus: Early birthday present from my mother…
A MIXER!!! It can be used as a hand mixer OR with the stand and bowl. THANKS MOMMY.
Bonus 2: Margaret George book from my best friend that she knew I wanted to read.
I think I can last another week now… I hope I can anyway. Thanks to my mom and my best friend for helping me out today.
